Lee Hadwin, who is described as a ‘sleep walking artist,' has allowed a series of his drawings and paintings as well as videos of him doing them, to be shown at popular tourist attraction Ripley's Believe It Or Not!
On Friday, Lee himself will make an appearance at the Piccadilly Circus venue where he will be meeting members of the public and signing his prints, which he creates whilst in a state of sleep.
"The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! brand is such a good fit for my pieces," Hadwin said. "I’m excited to have a pop-up exhibition somewhere that celebrates all that is different and I hope that the visitors will enjoy my unusual talent and the pieces I’ve created."
Hadwin has been described by the Edinburgh Sleep Clinic and the Art World as truly "unique." He has been studied by doctors and scientists both in the UK and overseas but his nocturnal artistic activities are a still mystery.
Despite having had no artistic training, he has been producing pieces of artwork in his sleep since the age of four.
However, he is unable to produce such pieces whilst awake but his skills whilst asleep have developed over the years to become more detailed and demand for his pieces from art galleries and exhibitions across the globe continues to grow.
